The exhibition centre is convenient because it is, in fact, a building – transformer. There you can build walls, build the stage and put as many ranks for guests as needed.

Following the competition, the infrastructure will remain Kiev. However, according to Alasania, too early to rejoice, as “critical and even cretinism of the situation lies in the fact that the money the state has, and it is ready to Finance the competition. There is money and the city. Kiev and also his part is willing to invest. However, both are impossible without changes in the 2016 budget and the adoption of the budget 2017.
